HOOK.

To all rwhom it may concern:

' Be it known .that I, GEORGE HERmNo, a citizen of the ,United States, residin at- Dumont, in the county of Bergen and tate .of New Jersey, have -mvented new and useful Improvements'in Hooks, of which. the

following is a specification. y

This invention relates to paint bucket supports particularly to that, type which` are' Yadapted for use on ladders. 'f

lhe object of=the invention is the provlslon of a simple, cheaply constructed and eilicient hook which may be readily placed on and removed froma ladder.

Further objectswill appear as the specific descriptiomwhich follows, is read in connection wlth the accompanying drawm which forms a part of this specification and in which Figure 1 is a section taken lon fitudinally 4through a ladder and showing t le hook iny lau. Fig. 2 is va perspective view ofthe ook removed from a ladder, and Fig. 3,is

' a front elevation showing the applicationof `a5 -4"adapted to engage lthe-run the hook to a' ladder. v Referring more especially to the drawixg 1 represents the longitudinal bars' of a la der and 2 its transverse rungs. This showing is made only to show the application of '-the bucket hook which will now be described. I

The hook comprises a single iece of heav wire 3 which is ent atone eng into a 1100K of the ladder. The opposite end 5 w ich connects with thehook 4 is bent laterally and in a horizontal plane as` at 6 toform one side of a bar Aengaging loop 7." The opposite side Spcification of Letters Patent.

has extendingr at right angles therefrom the bucket hook 9.

AIn practicey the hook 4 is enga ed 'over one of the rungs and the loop 7 stra dles the adjacent longitudinal bar-of the ladder. 'In this" position, the hook 9 extends laterally from the ladder so that thebucket is always in a handy right hand po ition. By sliding the loop 7 on the longit-u inal bar, the hook will automatically disengage itself from the rung and the device maythen be raised or lowered as desired to connect the sume with theladder at another oint. It will be no,-

t-iced that as the side Q rs against the outsideiof the longitudinal bar and that the upper end of the hook ars a inst the inner side, the more strain hch 1s ut u on the hook 9 the tighter th device will ho d.

Having thus described the invention, what 1. A paint bucket hook for ladders coniprising a run hook, a paint hook integral jtherewith,l an an intermediate hook to artiallydsurr'und thelongitudinal ladder ar.

2. A paint bucket hook for ladders, comprising a vertical rung hook, a laterallyl extending aint bucket .hook integral t erewith,and) a loop arranged intermediate sald hooks .for sliding upon the lon 'tudmal bar of the ladder, lone slde of said oop forming a fulcrum for the bucket hook.
